Inspired by a demand from peers for his quirky art renditions, the Melbourne-based artist decided to take his talent to the public. Succinctly titled ‘One Minute Portraits,’ Benjamin Hammond’s website invites anyone and everyone to [submit a photo of themselves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/persona-ai), and have those photos turned into a [quick one-minute sketch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pencilify-ai). If the customer is happy, he or she can purchase the original. Otherwise, the online version is still theirs for free. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 39% | Activity: 17% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Internet](https://www.trendhunter.com/internet) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Online Commissioned Portraits:** Opportunity to disrupt the traditional portrait industry by offering quick and unique online commissioned portraits. - **Instant Art Creation:** Opportunity to leverage technology to create instant art and cater to the demand for quick and personalized artwork. - **Democratization of Caricatures:** Opportunity to make caricatures accessible to everyone by providing a platform for easy submission and creation of personalized caricatures. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Art and Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity in the art and design industry by offering online commissioned portraits and instant art creation. - **E-commerce:** Disruptive innovation opportunity in the e-commerce industry by providing a platform for selling and delivering digital and physical artworks. - **Image Editing and Overlays:** Disruptive innovation opportunity in the image editing and overlays industry by offering automated digital transformations of submitted photos into caricatures. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AI Portrait Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portraitify-ai-portrait-studio.md) - [Rapid Photo Visualizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/life-minute-photos.md) - [Instant Headshot Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instant-headshot.md) - [Custom Pet Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portrait-mom.md) - [Whimsical AI Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clayify.md) - [Instant Personal Pages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/personal-landing-pages.md) - [Caricature Creation Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/photo-to-caricature-pictures.md) - [AI Avatar Creations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/faceless-avatar.md) - [AI Headshot Creation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/headshotgrapher.md)
